It is a "novella" -- 15,000 words vs his usual 90,000 word novels. It's positioned as a good introduction to "Jack". He has several novels on Amazon as well, but at higher price (in Canada, at least, due to Whispernet). These sorts of "free/low cost" introductions of self-contained novellas strike me as a brilliant way for an author to promote his/her work. A free chapter or two is nice too ... but something self-contained is potentially even better.
